I think the Apple store experience really started going downhill when they hired Angela Ahrendts to run retail.  I loved going into those stores - many times I was not even interested in buying anything.  They always had classes in various software programs or subjects and at times I would just sit there and watch, maybe even learn something.  I miss those years.  Now it's all about the iPhone - not a bad thing - but the Apple stores really felt like a part of the community.  It's just a typical retail store now to me.  I hardly ever go there now.  Sad.

A coworker of mine discovered his identity was stolen literally just hours after someone attempted to change the address on some of his financial accounts.  His financial advisor called him as the application's email address appears to be suspicious.  I was in the office listening in on the phone call.  He checked his credit report and found multiple pings just hours earlier opening up new accounts.  It was scary to listen to his plight as banks and the post office made it so difficult to stop the theft.  Thankfully, as his was caught so early, he managed to clear everything up before any real damaged occured.

Yet another reason Apple needs to be forced to open up the iPhone to user-installed apps.

Not everything needs to be 'updated'.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.  This is actively user hostile behavior from Apple.

You still here?  Still hoping to get people to believe your nonsense as fact?

Clock's ticking Qualcomm.

This is ridiculous.  They want to be in a union because they feel they're being treated unfairly.  They negotiate for their benefits and no whine and complain like spoiled brats when non-union employees get different benefits?  Will you complain when non-union employees get WORSE benefits than union employees then?  Cry me a river.
